At startup I get a bunch of textcode (200~ lines of code with some mention of Nvidia here and there) after that Ubuntu starts.

When in Ubuntu at times I get a black screen for few seconds such as, when clicking Settings... Also I have had my resolution change automatically in similar times from a larger (native in monitor) to a smaller (user set resolution) by simply opening the Settings etc.

It seems I have in some ways managed to install the Nvidia 525 drivers for Geforce 2070 Super as I have previously also done but these time I can't get it to show up on "Settings->About"

Showing some contradicting info about GPU drivers:

It's like the drivers/the GPU isn't actually in use... what do I do here?

edit: Another thread (Not detecting NVIDIA,but detect llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 256 bits)) mentioned disabling Secure Boot from BIOS would solve the issue but is this safe? I have gotten Nvidia Geforce 2070 super and the same driver files to work previously fine on Ubuntu 20.04 without resorting in to this?
